Description: "The Teeth of Time is the story of the relationship between one of Canada's pre-eminent historians and the still-captivating figure of the country's fifteenth prime minister. Pierre Elliott Trudeau, the most intellectual of Canadian prime ministers, turned to Ramsay Cook, a speech-writer during the 1968 election campaign, for his trusted views. Cook's revealing memoir traces how public affairs and the central political themes of Trudeau's reign - nationalism, federalism, and constitutional reform - continued to drive their relationship after Trudeau's resignation in 1984."--BOOK JACKET.
